This is a commemorative print, or *Mindeblad*, created by Albert Haelwegh in the 17th century, featuring Christen Skeel. It showcases a portrait of Skeel within an oval frame, surrounded by allegorical figures, including a soldier holding a shield with a grotesque mask and a female figure holding a wreath. The image is filled with symbolism and detailed engravings that are typical of this genre. This print was created to honor Skeel, reflecting the popularity of commemorative portraits in 17th century Danish art.
